Your thoughts

Without going into an essay and all of that, I want to ask what you think...
The vendor for a tournament charges Tax on discs bought with funny money won in the tournament that the vendor sponsors/puts on.
Hope that was short and clear, do you think that is fair, or another way to profit from a tournament they already are profiting from?

I don't really know tax laws all that well, and they probably vary from state to state, but here is a common sense answer: The vendor will be taxed if he is making a profit through disc sales and scrip redemtion. It makes sense that some vendors would choose to pass this cost along. This may not even be an option in states with a sales tax.
